In epithelial cells, Scribble forms cell-cell junctions and contributes to cell morphology and homeostasis by regulating apical-basolateral polarity in mammals and functions as a tumor suppressor in many carcinomas. The initial diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma is important, and its prognosis is poor when accompanied by metastasis. However, research on the mechanisms of oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis is insufficient. Herein, we showed that Scribble regulates the apical-basolateral polarity of oral squamous cell carcinoma by regulating lethal giant larvae 1, Scribble module and E-cadherin, the adhesion junction. The expression of lethal giant larvae 1 and E-cadherin decreased when the expression of Scribble was knocked down and their localization was completely disrupted in both the oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line and model. In particular, the Scribble was involved in oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis via hsa-miR-199b-5p, which is a microenvironmental factor of hypoxia. The disruption of Scribble localization under hypoxic conditions, but its localization was maintained in miR-199b-5p oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines and . These results suggest that Scribble functions as a tumor suppressor marker mediated by miR-199b-5p in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with high recurrence rates and resistance to conventional therapies. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of oral cancer stem cells (OCSCs) in driving treatment resistance and tumor recurrence. OCSCs possess unique properties, including self-renewal, differentiation potential, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which contribute to their ability to survive treatment and initiate tumor relapse.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies with multifactorial aetiologies. High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infections, particularly HPV16, and the dysregulation of telomerase activity, specifically through its catalytic subunit, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) are among the key contributors to HNSCC development and progression. HPV promotes oncogenesis via the E6 and E7 oncoproteins, which inactivate tumour suppressors TP53 and RB1, leading to unchecked cellular proliferation.

Background: Pembrolizumab with/without platinum + 5-FU is approved for the first-line (1L) treatment of R/M HNSCC, and its monotherapy use requires PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥ 1. We aimed to understand PD-L1 testing patterns and associations with patient characteristics and treatment choice in R/M HNSCC.
Methods: Adults with R/M HNSCC initiating 1L systemic therapy were included from a U.
